Irregularity due to die wear ,the coin shows metal crushing in the form of longitudinal lines.

During minting, the dies are subjected to high dynamic loads, which sometimes causes damage in the form of cracks or even chips. The friction between the surfaces of the dies and the coin disc causes gradual wear of the dies. Contrary to appearances, mint destructs are highly sought after by collectors, because their uniqueness makes them interesting and often very valuable, due to their rarity and exceptionality.

Coin obverse: leakage of the central ring, stars on the outer edge of the coin are misshapen, several stars are missing.

The inner core of the coin was torn off from the outer ring, creating two separate elements: the central core and the outer ring.

The inscription LËTZEBUERG and the year 2014 are distorted and several letters and numbers are incompletely missing. No visible separation of the central part of the coin into two equal fields. Image of Henry Grand Duke of Luxembourg distorted, (deficiencies) face and head not clearly visible, two mint symbols missing.

The shape of the coin is not round but distorted, additionally visible 3 very narrow convex grooves on the coin struck during the movement of the die. Three stars missing on the outer edge of the coin. The edge of the coin at the top is very distorted, loss of metal cut by the press.

Reverse of the coin: leakage of the central ring, together with visible 4 very wide outer gaps in the form of cones, running in 4 points of the coin. All grooves struck during the movement of the press die and minting under enormous pressure. Number 2 damaged

Edge of the coin distorted. Missing a set of 6 stars and 6 vertical lines under and above the inscription EURO. The inscription EURO is poorly visible. Map of Europe is misshapen, missing several States.

Interesting and unique very rare and unusual form of destruction of this coin.
